皮蛋黃

Peter Hing-kwei Wong (黃興桂) (nickname Pei Dan Wong (皮蛋黃, lit. Preserved egg yolk) is a sports commentator in Hong Kong. He hosts a wide variety of programs, including football, basketball,baseball, American football, tennis and boxing. He is famous for his odd catchphrases during programs, such as "There are only two possibilities for penalty: it's either going to go in or not." and "Who're the best friends of goalkeepers in the match? Of course the posts and the bars are!".Such catchphrases are often use by other Cantonese-speaking sports commentators. He also teaches Spanish, French and Italian languages during a football match to Hong Kong audiences.

Wong also writes football gambling tips in famous Hong Kong newspapers, and he is noted for the low accuracy rate of his predictions. It has been recorded that Wong had 23 failures out of 33 predictions about consecutive matches. [http://hk.sports.yahoo.com/050416/42/1bnje.html]

Peter Wong is also very interested in singing Louis Koo's songs. His personal favourite is 像我這一種男人. It was discovered that when he sings this song, he could not put down the microphone.

Despite his entertaining performance during programmes, Peter Wong had a sad life. His father, a Hong Kong tycoon, was kidnapped and killed in 1959. The kidnap case was known as the Three Wolves Case(三狼案) and is considered one of the most famous crime in the Hong Kong history. His intimate, his wife also died in a plane crash in 1982.

He was the former coach fof Eastern AA, South China AA and Tsuen Wan. In the season of 1982-83, South China AA under Peter Wong was to be relegated to second division, the first time in the club's history, but finally retained due to request of Hong Kong Football Association.
